IND vs NZ Dream11 match top picks
Top Wicketkeeper Pick
Finn Allen (24 matches, 564 runs, Average: 23.50)
Finn Allen did not score a run in the previous match, getting out on the second ball he faced. However, Allen is a good T20I batter with an average and strike rate of 23.50 and 164.43, respectively. With Allen due for a big score, he is a top pick for your IND vs NZ Dream11 prediction team.
Top Batter Pick
Glenn Phillips (55 matches, 1306 runs, SR: 147.57)
Glenn Phillips showed glimpses of his ability in the previous game, scoring 12 runs in six balls. Phillips has been in decent form of late, top scoring for the Kiwis in the ICC T20 World Cup. With a strike rate of nearly 150, Phillips is a good addition to your IND vs NZ Dream11 prediction team.
Top All-rounder Pick
Hardik Pandya (80 matches, 1130 runs, 62 wickets)
Hardik Pandya had a quiet outing in the previous game, playing second fiddle to Suryakumar Yadav. He is another explosive batter who strikes at 145.60 in T20Is. Although Pandya is not expected to bowl, his big-hitting abilities should make him a fine pick for your IND vs NZ Dream11 prediction team.
Top Bowler Pick
Yuzvendra Chahal (2/26 in the previous match vs New Zealand)
Yuzvendra Chahal had a good outing at Bay Oval, picking up two wickets whilst conceding only 26 runs in his four overs. Chahal has a bowling strike rate of 18.07 in this format, with an average of 24.38 holding him in good stead. Given the slew of right-handers in the NZ middle order, Chahal could be a top pick for your IND vs NZ Dream11 prediction team.
IND vs NZ match captain and vice-captain choices
Finn Allen
Finn Allen is one of the most exciting openers in this format, striking in excess of 160. He has three scores of fifty or more in 24 innings, holding him in good stead. With Allen known to take on the pacers in the powerplay, he could be a viable captaincy option in your IND vs NZ Dream11 prediction team.
Shreyas Iyer
Shreyas Iyer looked in decent touch in the previous game before throwing away a promising start. Iyer averages in excess of 30 with a strike rate of 136 in T20Is. Given his recent form for India in white-ball cricket, Iyer can be backed as captain or vice-captain in your IND vs NZ Dream11 prediction team.

IND vs NZ match expert tips for 3rd T20I
Washington Sundar did not have the best of outings in the previous game, conceding 24 runs in two overs. Although he is known for his economical bowling, Sundar is returning from injury and looked off-color in the previous game. With Hooda and possibly Pandya also available on the bowling front, Sundar could be a risky pick for your IND vs NZ Dream11 prediction team.
